Goodhue to make debut at JP Morgan 7s Finals

Summer recruit Cameron Goodhue will make his debut when Worcester Warriors take part in the prestigious J.P. Morgan Asset Management Premiership Rugby 7s Series Finals at the Recreation Ground on Friday evening.

"Playing on Finals night is a great achievement and the chance to play in the World Club 7s at Twickenham awaits the winner. We are excited by the night and we will go to The Rec eager to be competitive, replicate what we produced at Gloucester and enjoy the experience..."

Back row Goodhue, who joined Worcester from Auckland Blues, takes the place of the injured Josh Buggea (hamstring) as Warriors look to keep faith with the squad that wrapped up top spot in the opening pool at Kingsholm last Thursday.

Heading to Gloucester the Warriors had only won one J.P. Morgan Premiership Rugby 7s game but they were unstoppable as they secured a maximum 15 points with victories over the hosts, Bath Rugby and Exeter Chiefs.

Richard de Carpentier, who was named the player of the round at Gloucester, will again captain the side while the likes of Tom Chapman and Tiff Eden will once again get the chance to shine after impressing on debut at Kingsholm.

Academy Manager Mark Hewitt, who will coach the side on the night, said: "We were delighted with the performance of the entire squad at Gloucester. Every player made a positive contribution on the night and all deserve to retain their places.

"Unfortunately we have lost Josh Buggea to injury, which is a great shame as he did well at Gloucester, but I am sure Cam (Goodhue) will be keen to make his mark as he pulls on a Worcester jersey for a first time.

"Playing on Finals night is a great achievement and the chance to play in the World Club 7s at Twickenham awaits the winner. We are excited by the night and we will go to The Rec eager to be competitive, replicate what we produced at Gloucester and enjoy the experience."
